BACKGROUND The higher risk of type 2 diabetes in persons with a high waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) or waist-to-thigh ratio (WTR) has mostly been attributed to increased visceral fat accumulation. However, smaller hip or thigh circumference may also explain the predictive value of the WHR or WTR for type 2 diabetes. OBJECTIVE This study considered prospectively the association of hip and thigh circ...
Results: Mean age of participants was 74.96 ± 5.603 years. Mean waist circumference in whole sample measured 96.78 ± 16.85, mean hip circumference was 106.31 ± 19.24, mean waist hip ratio measured 0.91 ± 0.09 and mean body mass index was 27.83 ± 9.8. All of waist circumference, waist hip ratio, systolic blood pressure, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, ischemic heart disease, renal disease were ...
Background: Obesity is one of the most important problems in the world. Suitable low calorie diets are among the best ways for weight loss. The aim of this study was to determine the effects and comparison of two kinds of low-calorie diets on weight loss. Materials and Methods: Seventy- six health women (20-55 yrs old) were randomly divided into two groups for 3 months: 39 subjects in standard...
BACKGROUND Previous studies have relied predominantly on the body-mass index (BMI, the weight in kilograms divided by the square of the height in meters) to assess the association of adiposity with the risk of death, but few have examined whether the distribution of body fat contributes to the prediction of death. METHODS We examined the association of BMI, waist circumference, and waist-to-h...
Twenty eight women presenting for routine computed tomography had their waist, hip, and thigh circumferences measured. The ratio of the area of intra-abdominal fat to the area of subcutaneous fat shown in the computed tomogram taken at the umbilical level was calculated and found to correlate highly significantly with the ratio of waist to hip circumference. The correlation between these two ra...
Background: Given that abdominal obesity increases the risk of affecting metabolic and cardiovascular diseases, this study was conducted to determine the relationship between energy and macronutrient intake with women's abdominal obesity in Sabzevar. Methods: In this study, 225 female nurses and medical staff in Vase’e hospital of Sabzevar were selected. In order to assess the dietary int...
BACKGROUND Body size has been hypothesized to influence the risk of prostate cancer; however, most epidemiologic studies have relied on body mass index (BMI) to assess adiposity, whereas only a few studies have examined whether body fat distribution predicts prostate cancer. METHODS We examined the association of height, BMI, waist and hip circumference, and waist-hip ratio with prostate canc...
This study describes sex differences in obesity and body fat distribution using commonly used assessment methods in 140 men and 245 women age 65-96 years from Rancho Bernardo, California. Significant correlations were shown among all obesity measures. The waist/hip ratio was more strongly correlated with the truncal fat/leg fat ratio in women than in men. The waist/hip ratio correlated signific...
